Say AnythingWith Eisley, Moneen, Miniature Tigers FRIDAY 6:30 p.m. State Theatre, 687 Central Ave., St. Petersburg. $17-$20. (727) 895-3045.Will a happy marriage curb Max Bemis’ signature sneer? Considering the first single off Say Anything’s new record is called Hate Everyone, don’t count on it. On the impish Weezer-esque pop-rocker, singer Bemis, who’s now married to Eisley’s Sherri DuPree, declares his hate for “everyone upon this cursed earth” (including “the rapper in the Lexus” and “pills he ate for breakfast”). The man Spin once called “emo’s greatest disaster” has turned his battle with bipolar disorder (delusion once had him running in the middle of a busy New York street) into satirical, operatic thrill music — the kind that salutes everyone from Woody Allen to Sunny Day Real Estate and Rivers Cuomo.

Pete YornWith Isaac RussellTHURSDAY (11/12) 9 p.m. Push Ultra Lounge, 128 Third St. S, St. Petersburg. $17.50. (727) 871-7874.Contrary to the hangover scruff or sour indie-rock balladry, Pete Yorn has always had a thing for the bright lights of Hollywood. In 2000, Yorn wrote the score for the Farrelly Brothers film Me, Myself and Irene, which included breakout track Strange Condition. This year he collaborated with Scarlett Johansson on Break Up, a retro-rocking collection reminiscent of She and Him’sVolume One. We’re fairly certain Johansson won’t appear at this show (sorry to our buddies over at The Juice* ), but do count on Yorn delivering head-bobbing tracks full of misgivings and melody.

Have Gun, Will Travel CD releaseWith Lauris Vidal, Whisky GentrySATURDAY 9 p.m. New World Brewery, 1313 E. Eighth Ave., Ybor City. $7. (813) 248-4969.Like its television western namesake, Bradenton band Have Gun, Will Travel knows good frontier storytelling. Saturday, they’ll release hometown-themed Postcards from the Friendly City, a collection of contemplative Americana with old-timey twinkle. “Mama, when you hear that ol’ death rattle, bring me back to Bradenton,” they sing over brush drumming, gorgeous viola and lulling acoustic strums.

Jeremy Gloff CD release Part of Magnum Opus: A Square One Creative EventSATURDAY 9 p.m. The Ritz, 1503 East Seventh Ave., Ybor City. $1 donation. (813) 247-2555.Tampa Bay gay and lesbian community luminary Jeremy Gloff is a sassy advice columnist, lover of cheesy ’80s grooves and all-around funnyman. But on 21st Century Love Songs, he’s straight up serious. Ominous sounds abound on Depeche Mode-ish Oh Sweet Boy, in which Gloff tackles depression and suicide. Gloff describes the album as “one that gives a voice to people who are disappointed and skeptical of happy endings, but ultimately hopeful.”

Lucero With Ramblin’ Roadshow and Memphis Revue, Cedric Burnside and Lighting MalcolmFRIDAY 8 p.m. Czar 1430 E. Seventh Ave., Ybor City. (813) 247-2664.Lucero’s move to a major label had some longtime fans sweatin’ it. Would the beloved country punk band’s gristly tunes become polished for radio play? Singer Ben Nichols, often dubbed alt-country’s Kurt Cobain, says no way. The only real change to the leathery Lucero sound (which recalls the Replacements and the Hold Steady) looks to be a welcomed one — a little horn-infused Memphis soul.
